2 • INSTALLING OFIS
Two parts of installation are required for OFIS and this chapter explains on how to
install the scanner and the client in your computer.
Understanding the OFIS Scanner
With the capture area of only 8.7 x 5.8 x 2.4cm, the OFIS Scanner is a small device to
capture a fingerprint template via a desktop. It is compatible with USB1.0, 1.1 and
2.0 and it operates on MS Windows and Windows 7.
Understanding OFIS Client
The OFIS Client allows identification and verification of fingerprint to be done re-
motely through Internet, Intranet, WAN, or LAN. There is no restriction of user ca-
pacity as all user information are stored in a PC or a server. Hence the total user
capacity for OFIS depends on the hard drive capacity of the PC or the server. The
OFIS Client also provides the following functions:
• FingerTec OFIS Scanner Initialization and threshold configuration.
• Export of fingerprint template into JPG & BMP format
• Import of fingerprint image into JPG & BMP to Fingerprint template.
• Return the Finger Index once the registration process is completed.
• Fingerprint template’s encrypt and decrypt function. It uses the blowfish algo-
rithm.
• Multiple finger enrollment at one time.
• Supports the New FingerTec OFIS Scanner.
